Sustainability — Our Commitment

We strive to integrate sustainable practices throughout our business. We also take steps to address material environmental risks and issues across our operations and development projects.

Committed to Environmental Impact

Our approach integrates environmental stewardship to advance sustainability and resilience across our assets and is deeply embedded in our business strategy, decision-making, and operations. 

Reducing Our Carbon Footprint

In 2021, we established a science-based target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 28% by 2030. Through focused execution, we have exceeded our 
2030 target five years ahead of schedule.

Advancing Renewable Energy

Regency continues to expand the use of renewable energy technologies across our shopping centers, delivering more affordable, cleaner power to our tenants and the communities we serve. 

Reducing Our Impact

At Regency, being good stewards of our investors’ capital and the environment in which we operate is one of our core values. We are committed to delivering long-term value for our shareholders while thoughtfully considering the needs of our broader stakeholders. 

Reducing Our Energy Use
